You start learning how fast time flies when life routines and patterns kick in..
- Change of monthly contact lenses and finding out you're down to the last pair of annual supplies.
- Annual gym membership expires shortly (And you pretty much weigh the same as you started out. Well, I take consolation in the fact that it wasn't a weight gain!)
- Annual filing of income taxes
- Appraisal and promotion periods at work
And it goes on and on and on, day after day, month after month, year after year..
Suddenly the future doesn't seem too far away anymore and believe it or not, I'm starting to see myself grow old amidst pretty, young, bright and perky things, while I get fat, grow grey hair and retire.
*Gulp*
Note to self: Start believing 50 is the new 30!
